Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: February 16, 1791 (Salmonsens Konversationsleksikon; BnF authorities) or February 16, 1790 (Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers).

The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
